Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and numerous podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial healthcare instruction with an attention to on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address concerns ranging from usual afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
